that defense was very productive under Lewis. He will be putting it together without Lavar, Champ, etc... though.

Lewis is definitly taking that team in the right direction. The only mistake I think he made was draftign Palmer. I think he shold have traded down a few sports and taken Terrance Newman. He almost drafted Newman 1st overall. I dont think Palmer will be that great of a QB, and expecially after Kitnas year last year it proved he could have waited on a QB.

I like Palmer, the only thing I have a problem with is the way they casted aside Kitna after a great season. I guess we'll see if Palmer is ready, if he struggles and Lewis really is committed to him through thick and thin, a nasty QB controversy could be in the works.

Trotter was starting to come on strong before he blew his knee out against Dallas. Lewis runs a difficult scheme to pick up on especially for someone like Trotter who was used to an attacking style of defense.

It would not surprise me if the Pats had Trotter in for "talks" and a workout. If any kind of bidding war starts omong the Bengals/Giants/Seahawks, I'd expect the Pats to bow out very quickly. But if you are talking about a contract that is in the neighborhood of a "vet's league minimum", don't be surprised to hear that New England is in the mix
